Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne has emphasised the importance of their upcoming FA Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur, stating that the team is determined to give their best performance. The two sides will face off at Villa Park on Sunday, with a place in the fifth round at stake.
Digne highlighted the significance of the FA Cup, describing it as the most historic competition in England. He expressed his ambition to win the tournament and acknowledged that beating Tottenham would be a crucial step forward.
Villa have struggled against Spurs in the past, making this match an opportunity to change their fortunes.
Unai Emery’s side has been impressive at home, maintaining a ten-game unbeaten streak at Villa Park. The team has not lost a Premier League game there since their defeat to Arsenal and their only other setback came in a Carabao Cup match against Crystal Palace.
Despite this strong record, Digne believes there is still room for improvement, particularly in converting draws into wins.
Villa’s performances at home have been a source of confidence, and Digne stressed the importance of maintaining their dominance. He noted that small details can make a big difference and that the squad must remain focused to achieve consistent victories.
The team received a boost during the winter transfer window with five new signings arriving to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season. Digne welcomed the fresh additions, believing they will help the club achieve its goals across all competitions.
The French left-back also spoke about how crucial it is for new players to settle in quickly, as feeling comfortable on the pitch is essential for strong performances. The increased competition within the squad, he added, will push every player to deliver their best.
